!•  you've  never  visited  Nova  Scotia,  you  have  certainly  missed  much.  A 
i.ind  jusi  :i  night's  ride  away  from  Boston  —  a  foreign  country,  if  you 
please  — and  yet  such  a  change  from  the  hot,  dusty  and  uncomfortable 
surroundinKs  in  the  States.  A  few  weeks  siiftice  to  huild  up  the  worn-out  sys- 
tem and  put  more  life  and  enthusiasm  into  che  human  frame  than  a  score  of 
physicians.  The  expense  is  nominal.  It  costs  no  more  to  go  to  Nova  Scotia 
than  to  Maine;  it's  a  nice,  pleasant  outing,  once  taken,  oft  repeated. 

The  Dominion  Atlantic  Railway  stean.irs  are  the  finest  passenger  ships 
•eaving  Boston.  .Modern  in  construction,  large  staterooms,  wide  promenade 
deck,  grand  saloon,  and  cozy  smoking  room,  they  are  floating  hotels,  models  of 
comfort  and  convenience,  making  the  .'27  miles  with  the  regularity  of  a  railway 
train,  with  no  dust,  no  noise,  uo  confusion,  until  as  you  sit  on  deck  and  watch  the  disappearing  shores,  you  wonder  if  you  really 
are  on  the  ocean,  or  is  it  all  a  dream  I'he  dining-room  service  is  excellent,  the  staterooms  are  models  of  neatness,  and  from  tht 
moment  one  comes  under  the  care  of  the  Domin  on  Atlantic  Railway,  one  feels 
at  home,  and  that  restful  spirit  of  content  surrou  ids  him  —  and  the  vacation 
has  commenced. 

travelers  arriving  in  Boston  at  either  station  will  find  electric  cars  at  the 
door,  marked  "  Depots  and  Ferries,"  which  will  take  them  direct  to  the  wharf 
of  the  Dominion  Atlantic  Railway,  at  the  foot  of  State  Street,  where  agents  of 
the  tompany  will  attend  to  their  luggage  and  see  them  safely  aboard  the  boat. 
'I'he  sailing  hour  is  four  o'clock  in  the  afternoon,  and  promptly  on  time  the 
magnificent  niieteen-knot,  twin-screw  steamer  swings  out  into  the  h.irbor  and 
commences  its  journey  to  the  "  F-and  of  Evangeline." 

The  harbor  passed,  the  dinner  over,  the  "constitutional  "  taken,  we  seek 
our  berths  with  the  resolution  to  wake  early  that  we  may  catch  the  first  glimpse 
of  Nova  Scotia  and  see  a  sunrise  at  sea. 


A  Bmomvi!  n»w  oii  thk  v*«\m 


/'I  Auk  first  land  the  traveler  views,  after  leavinK  the  Massachusetts  shores,  is  (ape  Fourchu,  the  extreme  western  point  of 
J^  Nova  Scotia,  where  the  elegant  steamers  of  the  Dominion  Atlantic  l,ine,  a  er  a  delightful  fifteen  hours'  run  at  sea.  pass 
Yarmouth  Light  and  proceed  onward  through  the  narrow  channel  of  the  harbor  to  Yarmouth,  which  lies  ahead  in  plain 
view,  on  a  hillside  and  hacked  by  a  curinin  of  Natures  green.  The  town  itself  is  inferesting,  being  the  principal  port  of  the 
western  counties  and  the  largest  town  in  the  province  west  of  Halifax  population,  about  7.000.  Here  yoi  begin  to  notice  some 
of  those  peculiarities  of  the  Hay  of  Kundy  country.-the  extremes  in  the  rise  and  fall  of  the  tide.  While  not  as  pronounced  here 
as  at  points  farther  up  the  coast,  yet  the  fall  is  about  thirty  feet,  and  the  departing  waters  leave  great  mud  banks,  bringing  into 
strong  relief  the  winding  of  the  ship  channel  leading  to  the  town.  The  steamer  docks  right  at  the  Dominion  Atlantic  Railway 
.Station,  where  two  speedy  and  well-equippod  trains  await  the  traveler  who  elects  to  continue  his  journey  farther  east. -one  the 
celebrated  "  Flying  Hluennse."  making  a  rapid  run  to  the  capital  city,  reaching  there  in  the  middle  of  the  afternoon.  The  second 
train,  the  "  Imperial  Purple."  is  a  local,  making  all  stops  and  reaching  Halifax  early  in  the  evening.  But  as  we  are  not  going  on 
the  train  to-day,  we  will  go  ashore  and  have  our  lug}r.ge  examined  before  taking  the  carriage  up  to  tht  hotel,  from  w  lence  we  can 
view  the  town  at  our  leisure.  The  (Irand  Hotel,  a  few  blocks  away,  but  in  plain  sight  from  the  steamers  dock,  offers  the  best 
accommodation  for  the  stranger,  being  on  high  ground,  affording  a  fine  view  of  the  harbor  and  surroundings,  and  of  modern

the  fact  remain,  that  it  i.  a  model  ho.t^lry,  and  -.he  itrangcr  who  elects  to  make  it  hi.  headquarters  during  his  .tay  in  the  "ity 
will  i.ot  go  aw.iy  with  t\  poor  opinion  of  its  merits. 

Hay  Vic^^  Park,  just  across  the  li.irbor.  has  a  Casiuo.  bcutiful  Krounds.  fine  shade  in.l  numerous  miner  attruiions  for 
children  It  ih  reached  by  a  small  steamer  every  hour  during  the  day  and  evening,  at  a  jmall  expense,  or  one  may  take  a  carriage 
around  tho  head  of  th(;  h.rbor  and  ovei  a  ple.isant  ro.  dway  dotted  here  and  there  with  cottages  of  the  summer  res.dents. 

While  Yarmouth  is  under  the  H.ltish  Hag.  yet  there  seems  sc  much  Americanism  in  its  general  style  and  nanrer  one  can 
hardly  realize  that  he  is  ii.  anothc  imtry  han  the  United  States.  Its  citizens  are  hospitable  in  the  e-xtre.ne  and  every  courtesy 
.s  shown  to  visitors,     a  feature  wh       .n  itst'f  has  made  the  town  a  reputation  much  to  be  envied. 

The  retail  trade  is  principail)  '  unftn. d  to  the  main  stieet,  covering  n^Pfly  a  mih  of  well  stocked  stores,  from  which  the  wants 
of  tne  travek-r  .nay  be  readily  and  sai.sfactorily  suoplied.  1  he  wholesale  district  lies  nearer  the  wate>  and  manv  la.ge  concern 
m  this  district  are  occupied  in  di'  tributinj;  tne  various  prodm f>  to  interior  points. 

In  a  manufacturing  sense  .  arn.outh  has  made  favorable  proj«resi>:  the  large  factories  of  the  Yarmouth  !)uck  and  Yarn 
(  ompany,  Reddmg's  Shoe  Kactory.  the  Hurrell-johnson  I. on  (cmpany.  .' 
affording  einploynn-nt  for  many  hands.  .Several  tine  business  blocks 
beauty  to  the  main  street,  while  the  residence  portion,  to  the  ea»>  of  the 
thoroughfare,  is  noticeable  for  the  quiet  magnificence  of  its  beautifully 
shaded  streets;  the  dwellings,  wi'h  extensive  lawnj,  indicating  the  comfo-^t 
and  luxury  of  their  occupants.  Nobody  hurries  in  Yarmouth,  and  why 
snould  they  .>  They  have  demonstrated  that  in  order  to  really  enjoy  life 
one  must  take  things  easy.  And  if  we  would  only  profit  by  such  an 
example  we  would  live  longer,  to  say  the  l<sast. 

In  earlier  years  Yarmouth  was  a  great  shipping  port,  but  with    the 
incoming  of  steam  vessels  the  ship-building  declined,  and  with  it  the  e . 
port  values.     It  is  the  home  of  many  noted  sea  captains. 

The  climate  commends  itself  agreeably.  It  is  always  cool  and  pleas- 
ant. The  thermometer  rarely  goes  above  70"  even  in  August,  a  striking 
contrast  to  sweltering  Boston,  only  200  miles  away.

'  Che  earrison  City." 


H 


AMFAX  was  founded,  in  1749,  by  P'.nglish  colonists  under  the  leadership  of  Colonel 
P'.dward  Cornwallis.  Previous  to  the  settlement,  the  harbor  had  only  been  visited 
by  a  few  storm-stayed  fishing  si  neks.  In  1746  the  Due  d'Anville's  shattered  and 
fever-stricken  armada  had  sought  shelter  there,  and  the  broken-hearted  commander  died, 
some  say  of  poison;  and  his  successor  shortly  after  committed  suicide.  When  Cornwallis 
arrived,  the  skeletons  of  some  of  d'Anville's  men  were  found  beneath  the  trees,  while 
thousands  lay  buried  in  trenches  near  the  shore.  For  some  time  the  Indians  were  a 
constant  source  of  anxiety  to  the  ii'habitants,  and  they  murdered  several  who  straggled 
outside  the  pickets  of  the  town. 

Dartmouth,  on  the  opposite  aide  of  the  harbor,  was  attacked  by  night  by  Micmacs, 
under  the  direction  of  French  Acadians,  and  a  number  of  the  settlerj  were  killed  and 
scalped.  This  hostility  had  much  to  do  with  retarding  the  growth  of  the  town.  To 
aid  in  defending  the  settlement,  a  blockhouse  was  erected  on  a  commanding  eminence  now  known  as  Citadel  Hill,  and  others 
were  built  in  various  advantageous  positions.  The  modern  fortifications  which  surround  the  town  are  evidences  of  the  great 
importance  of  the  position  as  a  naval  and  military  station. 

St.  Paul's  church,  commenced  in  1749,  is  probably  the  oldest  building  in  Halifax,  and  its  history  is  most  interesting.  The 
quaint  Dutch  church  was  built  about  six  years  later  as  a  place  of  worship  for  the  German  settlers  who  resided  in  the  northern 
suburbs.  The  legislative  building,  erected  in  the  early  years  of  the  present  century,  was  once  considered  the  finest  building  in 
America.  At  the  close  of  the  American  Revolutionary  war,  the  population  of  Halifax  was  greatly  increased  by  loyalists  from  the 
United  States,  and  we  find  many  New  F^ngland  names  represented  among  the  citizens  of  to-day.  Old  St.  Paul's  cemetery  and 
the  church  records  afford  rich  stores  of  information  for  American  genealogists.

To  the  north  of  the  city  is  Fort  Needhrm,  still  showing  in  its  grass-grown  mounds  the  abandoned  earthworks  once  thrown  up 
to  defend  the  early  settlers  agains'  either  French  or  Indian  invader.  On  the  south,  in  contrast  to  this  fort  of  the  past,  is  Point 
Pleasant,  with  two  batteries  of  to-day  and  manned  by  the  Royal  Artillery.  Down  the  harbor's  sides  and  on  George's  and  McNab's 
islands  are  a  half  dozen  other  strong  fortifications. 

Halifax  is  easy  of  access.  It  can  be  reached  from  Boston  in  twenty-four  hours,  from  New  York  in  thirty  hou-s,  from  St.  John 
in  eight  hours,  from  Montreal  in  twenty-four  houis,  and  from  Toronto  in  thirty-four  hours.  It  is  midway  between  Cape  Breton's 
charming  lakes  and  frowning  mountains  on  the  east  and  the  Land  of  Evangeline  and  Nova  Scotia's  beautiful  South  Shore  to  the 
west.  By  finely  equipped  railroads  the  traveler  may  go  east,  north  or  west.  Easterly,  aiso,  he  may  take  passage  by  steamers, 
and  in  that  direction,  too,  taste  the  pleasure  of  Atlartic  voyaging  while  feasting  the  eye  on  the  rugged  beauty  of  Nova  Scotia's 
deeply  indented  coasts.     Loveliness  and  novelty  will  greet  him  at  every  turn. 

Halifax  is  the  seat  of  government  in  Nova  Scotia.     Here  the  legislature  makes  laws  in  provincial  affairs,  and  here  the  courts 
administer  laws  federal  and  provincial.       Here   the   lieutenant-governor  resides. 
Here  the  general  officer  commanding  the  British  forces  in  North  America  has  his 
headquarters,  and  here  are  stationed  the  imperial  troops.     Here  in  summer  rendez- 
vous the  splendid  fleet  of  British  warships  commanded  by  Admiral  Sir  John  Fisher. 

Such  is  Halifax  in  location  and  environment.  Her  summer  days  are  balmy, 
bright  and  breezy  —  every  hot  hour  empered  by  refreshing  ocean  winds,  every 
night  cool  enough  to  make  a  blanket  a  source  of  pleasure  to  the  wayfarer  courting 
Nature's  sweet  restorer. 

If  one  were  asked  to  name  the  fairest  spot  of  land  less  than  seventeen  acres 
in  extent  to  be  found  in  North  America,  it  would  undoubtedly  be  the  Public 
Gardens  of  Halifax.  And  his  choice  would  be  based,  not  only  on  the  present 
glory  of  this  pleasure  resort,  but  because  that  nowhere  else  could  he  find  such  a 
sma'i  portion  of  Mother  Earth  which  so  beautifully  shows  what  Nature  and  the 
highest  in  human  nature  can  together  achieve.     Thirty  years  ago  these  acres  that  thk  beaitihl  northwest  arm,  haukax.

leased  by  the  city  to  a  company  for  the  purpose  of  raising  vegetables.  Happily  the  venture  proved  a  failure,  and  on  resuming 
possession  of  the  land  the  city  wisely  decided  to  convert  it  into  pleasure  gardens  for  the  people.     The  gardens  contain  two  or

three  shrubs  placed  there  at  the  suggestion  of  Henry  Ward  Beecher,  who  complimented  Superintendent  Power  on  the  excellent 
taste  and  beauty  of  the  whole.  Among  royal  visitors  who  have  been  loud  in  their  praises  of  this  enchanted  spot  were  the  Duke 
of  York,  the  late  Duke  of  Clarence,  H.  R.  H.  Princess  Louise  and  the  Marquis  of  Lome.  A  splendid  fountain  was  unveiled  by 
the  Countess  of  Aberdeen  during  Jubilee  week  in  J>'ne,  1897.  In  this  idyllic  spot,  amid  a  loveliness  of  Nature  tftat  is  indescrib- 
able, there  are  not  only  a  "million  beauties  for  the  eye,"  but  also  "music  ror  the  ear,"  the  blending  of  the  choicest  military  music 
with  the  murmur  of  falling  waters.  And  to  make  the  paradise  complete  there  is  the  softer  music  of  tender  human  voices  that 
whisper  the  old,  old  story  while,  like  Evangeline  and  her  lover,  they  behold  "the  moon  rise  over  the  pallid  sea." 

To  the  summer  tourist  who  travels  with  or  on  his  bicycle,  Halifax  and  its  vicinity  offer  many  attractions.  The  streets,  with 
the  exception  of  the  one  on  the  water  front,  which  is  paved  with  blocks  of  stone,  are  macadamized,  dry  up  quickly  after  rain  and 
make  an  excellent  surface  to  ride  upon.  The  favorite  resort  for  bicyclists  in  the  neighborhood  of  the  city  is  Point  Pleasant  Park, 
with  an  area  of  about  two  hundred  acres,  and  containing  about  ten  miles  of  first-class  macadamized  roads.  One  side  of  the  park 
is  bounded  by  the  city,  one  by  the  waters  of  the  harbor,  and  the  third  by  those  of  the  Northwest  Arm,  a  lovely  sheet  of  salt  water 
lying  behind  Halifax.  From  Point  Pleasant  a  view  of  unusual  extent  and  beauty  is  obtained,  and  exquisite  glimpses  of  the  harbor 
and  Arm  are  met  with  at  almost  every  turn.  The  ride  around  the  "Dutch  Village"  skirts  the  Arm  for  nearly  a  mile,  passes 
through  the  village,  a  pretty  suburb,  and  brings  one  home  by  way  of  Bedford  Basin,  an  extension  of  the  harbor,  northerly,  and  the 
harbor  itself  in  about  an  hour's  easy  riding;  total  distance  about  eight  miles.  At  this  point  is  the  old  residence  of  <i.  R.  H.  the 
Duke  of  Kent,  father  of  Queen  Victoria.  For  a  number  of  years,  at  the  beginning  of  the  nineteenth  century,  he  was  stationed 
here  as  commander  of  the  forces.  His  summer  residence  was  a  most  imposing  and  beautiful  one,  and  there  he  lived  in  semi-regal 
state.  The  winding  paths  of  this  once  magnificent  estate  can  yet  be  traced  among  the  tre< ",  and  the  old  band  house  remains 
until  this  day.  The  run  to  Bedford,  at  the  head  of  the  Basin,  about  nine  miles,  is  of  great  beauty.  The  road  skirts  the  water  all 
the  way,  and  new  beauties  reveal  themselves  on  every  side.  The  cyclist  may  return  by  the  other  side  of  the  Basin  to  Dartmouth 
and  cross  the  harbor  to  Halifax  by  ferry;  the  road  lies  further  away  'rom  the  water  and  is  not  so  good.  An  interesting  variation 
is  afforded  by  riding  from  Bedford  to  Waverley,  about  five  miles,  over  a  fair  road  through  the  woods,  and  continumg  by  the  shores 
of  four  beautiful  lakes  to  Dartmouth,  a  run  of  abouc  twenty-five  miles  in  all.  Other  interesting  runs  are  to  C:ow  Bay,  about  eight 
miles  from  Dartmouth,  where  there  is  a  magnificent  sand  beach,  and  to  the  head  of  St.  Margaret's  Bay,  about  twenty-one  miles  to

officers  and  about  fifteen  hundred  of  all  ranks.  Halifax  is  the  headquarters  of  the  Ninth  Dist- 
rict, one  of  the  twelve  district  commands  of  the  active  militia  of  the  Dominion.  The  force 
consists  of  a  regiment  of  Garrison  Artillery,  a  battalion  of  RiHes  and  one  of  Fusiliers,  in  all 
eighty-six  officers  and  one  thouyand  two  hundred  and  forty  men.  There  are  six  bands  of  mili- 
tary music  in  connection  with  the  regulars  and  the  militia,  the  regimental  band  of  the  regulars 
of  course  being  of  acknowledged  superiority  and  an  excellent  model  for  the  other  organizations 
to  profit  by.  The  military  mantt-uvres,  sham  fights  and  reviews  at  Halifax  are  well  worth  seeing 
and  add  materially  to  the  enjoyment  of  visitors. 

Halifax  Harbor,  proper,  opens  from  Chebucto  Bay  and  thence  to  the   Narrows,   about  six 
and  a  half  miles.     It  is  narrowed  at  Point  Pleasant  to  a  half  mile  in  width  and  then  gradually 
increases  to  one  and  a  quarter  milej  until  at  the  entrance  to  Bedford  Basin,  where  it  decreases 
to  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  in  width.     Sheltered  as  it  is  by  McNab's  and  George's  islands,  the  harbor  affords  at  all  times  a  per- 
fectly safe  anchorage  for  vessels  in  from  eight  to  twelve  fathoms  of  water.    On  its  western  shore  is  located  the  finest  dry  dock  in 
America,  which  has  a  capacity  sufficient  to  accommodate  the  largest  ship  of  Her  Majesty's  navy. 

Point  Pleasant  divides  the  harbor  proper  from  the  Northwest  Arm,  a  body  of  water  two  and  a  half  miles  in  length  and  from  a 
quarter  to  three  quarters  of  a  mile  in  width,  along  the  banks  of  which  one  finds  the  most  beautiful  scenery  that  can  be  imagined. 
The  hills  adjoining  the  Northwest  Arm  are  surmounted  by  fine  residences,  the  owners  of  which  take  great  delight  during  the 
summer  months  in  boating,  bathing  and  fishing;  the  fac.hties  for  such  sport  being  unequalled  elsewhere  in  Bntish  North  America 
Above  Point  Pleasant,  on  the  eastern  side,  Halifax  Harbor  is  divided  by  George's  Island,  a  perfect  emerald  gem  in  its  setting. 
This  island  is  strongly  fortified,  and  only  those  who  have  a  permit  from  the  Imperial  (Jovernment  are  allowed  upon  its  shores. 

The  appearance  of  Halifax  Harbor,  more  especially  when  Her  Majesty's  fleet  is  in  port,  is  an  animated  one.  Halifax  has 
long  been  celebrated  for  its  yachting  and  boating  advantages,  the  gradual  rise  and  fall  of  the  tide,  and  the  prevailing  southwest 
winds  in  summer,  making  it  safe  for  even  a  novice  to  navigate  about  with  but  little  prospect  of  a  mishap.  Bedford  Basin  is 
an  ideal  spot  for  both  rowing  and  yachting.  It  has  several  good  hotels  along  its  shores,  which,  during  the  summer  season,  are 
continuously  filled  with  visitors  from  the  United  States,  Western  Canada  and  elsewhere.     Among  the  objects  of  particular  interest 

about  the  Basin  is  Navv  Island,  on  the  western  shore,  where  it  is  <jnirl  that  <f>v(>ru\   Vr,.r,nh  ,v,^^^( ,.,,..  ..u;,,„ i.  :_  , 

the  old-time  conflicts  between  that  nation  and  Great  Britain.     There  is  also  an  island  at  the  head  of  the  Basin  that  is  totally 
uninhabited  and  would  be  most  suitable  for  camping-out  purposes

Persons  who  have  spfnt  n  lifetime  in  Dart- 
mouth are  often   ignorant  of  its  beauties.     To 
see  all  takes  time,  but  there  are  several  points 
easily  and  quickly  reached,  among  which  is  the 
Park,  the  pride  of  the  town,  from  which  may  be 
seen  the  broad  expanse  of  ocean,  and  beautiful 
harbor  and  city  panoramic  views.     Beyond  the  town  a  short  distance  are  the  famous 
Dartmouth  Lakes,  a  chain  of  remarkable  beauty,  the  shores  of  which  are  dotted  with 
summer  cottages.     A  drive  around  the  lakes  is   most  delightful,   and  carriages  may 
be  bad  at  a  moderate  pi  ice  for  the  trip.     Another  grand  drive  is  to  Cow  Bay,  about 
nine  miles,  where  there  is  a  fine  bathing  beach.     Other  drives  include  Waverley,  a 
gold  mining  town,  Montague  Mines,   Bedford   Basin,   Preston    Road,  etc.     A   longer 
drive  is  to  Lawrencetown.  about  20  miles  to  the  eastward.     A  comfortable  hotel  pro- 
vides for  the  traveler,  and  the  bird  shooting  in  season  is  e.xcellert. 

The  Provincial  Insane  Asylum  is  located  at  Dartmouth,  on  the  harbor  shore. 
The  ferryboats  leave  for  Halifax  every  fifteen  minutes      Fare,  four  cents. 

Teams  may  be  hirsd  in  Dartmouth  cheaper  than  in  Halifax. 


DAK  r.MOl'TH'S  close  proximity  to  Halifax,  with  which  it  is  connected  bj 
ferry,  and  the  many  beautiful  spots  in  and  about  the  town,  make   it  a 
most  desirable  residential  place,  and  many  of  the  bu.siness  and  profes- 
sional men  of  Halifax  make  the  town  their  home.     With  a  water  front  of  four 

miles  and  a  railroad  along 
its  shores  the  entire  distance 
it  offers  unusual  advantages 
for  shipping,  sharing  wUh 
Halifax  the  great  importance 
of  being  possessed  of  one  of 
the  finest  anu  safes:  harbors 
in  the  world. 

Dartmouth  is  the  second 
largest  town  in  the  province 
and  is  the  home  of  several 
manufacturing  plants.

we  are  at  Weymouth,  ont-  of  the  most  picturesque  spots  imagina-

Sissiboo  River  at  its  feet.  The  laughing  and  jolly  crowds  of  vacationists 
that  meet  the  trains  every  morning  would  surely  indicate  that  Weymouth 
had  the  power  of  attraction,  even  if  you  had  not  noticed  its  exceptional 
beauty  of  location  and  environment  .is  you  crossed  over  the  long  railway 
bridge  before  reaching  the  town.  It  is  a  great  resort  for  the  young  folks 
from  the  States  because  of  the  amusements  offered  there  in  the  way  of 
boating,  bathing,  fishing,  band  concerts  and  a  thousand  and  one  other  of 
items  which  go  to  niake  a  summer  vacation  pleasant.  The  SLssiboo  is 
a  navigable  river,  and  some  large  vessels  are  engaged  in  handling  the 

commerce  of  the  town.     St.  Mary's  Hay  is  only  two  miles  away  and 

is  daily  visited  by  picnic  parties.     Weymouth  boasts  nl  her  cherries 

and  certainly  she  has  them  in  abundance  as  well  as  all  the  other 

early  fruits  both  wild  and  "  tame."  An  air  of  real  sociability  per- 
vades every  one  and  you  can  enjoy  every  minute  of  the  time  spent 

there.     The  (Joodwin  House  furnishes  excellent  accommodations  at 

moderate  rates.       The    Weymouth    House  has  a  large   lawn   and 

shade  trees,  hammocks,  and  is  always  well  patronized.     If  you  have 

a  wheel,  bring  it  along;  there  are  plenty  of  opportunities  to  use  it.

A  VISIT  to  Nova  Scotin  without  a  stop  iu  Digly  would  be  to  deprive  yourself  ot  much  real  enjoyment.  (Jo  up  on  that  hill 
by  the  nulroad  station  and  take  in  the  view,  It  is  magnificent  1  just  below  you  is  the  \  mg  railway  p'-r  and  out  at  the 
end  lies  the  har.vlsome  side-wheel  steamer  "  Prince  Rupert,"  juat  in  from  St.  johr.,  and  waiting  fc  the  connecting  trains 
from  the  east.  She  has  made  the  forty  mile  trip  in  a  little  over  two  hour.s.  and  only  awaits  her  passengers  to  make  the  return  t.ip. 
Off  to  the  west  is  the  Hear  River  country,  with  its  grand  wcodeu  hills  and  fertile  valleys.  Directly  before  you  is  the  Annapolis 
Hasin,  a  beautiful  thirty  mile  stretch  of  s  Jt  v>.  'er  almost  entirely  surrounded  by  hills,  and  just  where  th.-  two  ranges  of  hills  almost 
meet,  is  Digby  (Jut  (or  (Japi.  through  which  nr..ow  passagr  the  vessels  pass  in  ^nd  OMt.  To  the  right  is  the  to^n  of  Digbv  and 
Its  neat  and  cozy  houses  are  outlined  against  the  dark  green  lawns  and  fields  along  the  s.'iores  of  the  Basin  for  a  mile  or  more. 
Bear  IsHnd,  just  beyond,  is  the  summer  home  of  several  .Americana.  .Ml  about  the  Hasi.i  are  sailing  and  fishing  parties,  their 
merry  laugh  and  songs  lending  an  added  enchantment  t, .  an  already  er.trancing  vision  of  one  of  Nature's  unapproachable  creations. 

^:ince  Digby  was  visited  by  a  disastrous  fire,  about  t  vo  years  ago,  there  have  been  numerous  modern  buildings  erected  .nthe 
old  sites,  which  adds  mati.ially  to  the  general  beauty  of  me  town.  The 
hotel  accommodaiicns  are  excellent,  not  less  than  seven  hotels  catering 
to  th'i  tourist  trade.  .Among  these  i  lay  be  mentioned  The  Manhattan,  a 
new  and  modern  hotel  of  more  th.-.n  ordinary  notice,  the  Dufferin  and 
The  Columbia,  two  houses  under  one  management,  and  the  Myrtle. 
There  are  also  a  number  of  private  houses  which  accommodate  visitors  to 
the  town,  and  every  ,.ffort  is  made  to  entertain  their  guests  and  make 
their  stay  a  pleasant  one.  Digby  has  a  great  adv-.ntage  over  the  inland 
towns;  the  breezes  from  the  Bay  of  I'undy  cool  the  summer  air,  the  Hasin 
alTords  exceptional  opportunities  for  safe  boating  and  Oiher  water  sports, 
and  the  lover  of  the  wheel  will  find  new  beauties  in  every  winding  road 
and  from  every  commanding  hill.  The  town  of  Hear  River,  a  few  miles 
to  the  west  and  situated  on  a  river  of  the  same  name,  is  surrounded  by 
the  most  delightful  scenic  country  and  is  veil  worth  visiting.

About  the  last  of  June  the  native  strawberries  are  ripe,  and  then  come 
in  quick  succession  cherries,  raspberries  and  blackberries.  They  are 
plentiful,  delicious  -  and  cheap.  Vou  can  pick  them  yourselves  if 
you  like  ;  they  grow  in  the  fields  and  no  one  forbids  >our  quest. 

There  are  beautiful  drives  all  about  Annapolis  in  any  direction. 
The  roads  are  smooth  and  hard  and  in  most  instances  well  shaded.  A 
bicycle  is  very  handy  to  have  heic  .is  no  better  country  roads  can  be 
found  in  the  province  than  along  the  Annapolis  Valley.

BEIN(i  the  oldest  town  (except  St.  Augustine)  on  the  American

examining  the  historical  features  of  the  town  —  the  old  French 
Fort  with  its  still  remaining  barracks  and  sally-port,  the  subterranean 
passages,  the  old  powder  magazine,  and  other  evidences  of  antiquity, 
do  not  think  that  all  Annapolis  is  necessarily  ancient.  It  is  a  modern 
summer  resort  town,  and  m  location  has  no  superior.  Here  before 
you  stretches  away  to  the  hills  of  Digby  the  most  beautiful  sheet  of 
salt  water  in  Nova  Scotia,  the  Annapolis  Basin,  almost  encircled  by

THIS  pretty  little  town,  28  miles  from  Annapolis,  on  the  Dominion  Atlantic  Railway,  is  also  the  northern  terminus  of  the 
Central  Railway  of  Nova  Scotia.  It  has  about  800  population,  and  possesses  advantages,  commercial  and  climatic,  which 
should  make  it  both  a  manufacturing  center  and  a  summer  resort.  Situated  in  the  center  of  the  Annapolis  Valley,  the 
garden  spot  of  the  province,  protected  by  high  hills  from  the  fogs  of  the  liay  of  Fundy,  only  a  few  miles  away ;  at  the  junction  of 
two  small  rivers  furnishing  grand  sport  for  the  fisherman  who  delights  in  salmon  and  trout;  near  the  moose-hunting  country  in 
the  Nictaux  Valley;  with  good  roads,  fine  spring  water,  excellent  beaches  within  a  short  distance,  and  every  natural  advantage, 
there  is  no  reason  why  Middleton  should  not  appeal  to  both  business  men  and  tourists.  The  hotel  accommodations  are  fai.,  three 
hotels  catering  to  the  public  at  moderate  rates.  The  VVilmot  Medicinal  Springs,  two  miles  from  Middleton,  attracts  many  visitors. 
A  sanitarium  has  been  erected  there  and  is 
equipped  with  bath  houses  for  hot  or  cold 
water,  and  many  atiHicted  ones  have  been  re- 
juvenated by  the  treatment. 

The  apple  orchards  about  Miudleton  pro- 
duce some  of  the  finest  export  fruit,  which  is 
in  great  demand  in  England  and  the  States. 

South  of  the  town  are  immense  deposits  of 
iron  ore  and  their  development  will  add  to 
its  commercial  importance. 

Good  bicycle  paths  are  maintained  to  the 
north  and  south.  The  streets  are  wide  anci 
well  shaded.  The  temperature  during  the 
day  in  sumnr:!r  is  quite  war.n,  but  at  night  the 
breeze  from  the  Bay  of  Fundy  makes  blankets 
a  necessity.  I'ort  (Jeorge  and  Margaretville, 
on  the  Hay,  are  easily  reached  by  carriage. 
Hoth  have  good  bathing  beaches,  and  barges 
carry  parties  there  and  return  for  fifty  cents.

THE  Central  Railway  of  Nova  Scotia  crosses  the  Province  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Bay  of 
Fundy  in  an  almost  direct  north  and  south  line  from  Lunenburg  to  Middleton,  a  distance 
of  74  miles.  The  country  through  which  it  passes  is  rich  in  lumber  and  minerals,  and 
abounds  in  beautiful  lakes  and  rapid  running  streams.  It  reaches  the  finest  hunting  section  in 
the  province,  bear,  moose,  caribou,  and  smaller  game  being  numerous.  Trout  and  salmon  are 
plentiful  in  season  all  through  the  waters  along  the  line.  Hridgewater  is  the  first  town  of  any 
size  after  leaving  Middleton.  It  has  about  2,000  population,  and  is  situated  at  the  head  of  navi- 
gation on  the  LaHave  River,  "the  Rhine  of  Nova  Scotia."  The  town  was  partially  destroyed 
by  fire  January  12,  1899,  but  has  been  rebuilt  in  a  substantial  manner.  A  park  is  projected  for 
METHOD  OK  YOKING  oxHN.  the  entlrc  leugth  of  the  lower  side  of  tiie  main  street  along  the  river  front  which  will  add  to  the 

natural  beauty  of  the  town.     A  fine  hotel,  "The  Fairview,"  at  the  top  of  the  hill  back  of  the  main  street,  is  conducted  by  F.  W. 
Clark,  who  in  his  eight  years'  management  has  made  a  host  of  friends.     The  hotel  is  always  well  filled  winter  and  summer. 

Excursion  steamers  take  visitors  down  the  river,  touching  at  Dublin,  "The  Ovens"  (a  series  of  caves),  celebrated  not  only 
for  their  peculiar  geological  formation  but  on  account  of  placer  deposits  of  gold,  and  on  to  the  ucaches  at  the  mouth  of  the  river. 

Lunenburg,  the  county  seat,  has  about  4,000  population.  It  is  the  southern  terminus  of  the  Central  road 
and  does  a  lumber  and  fish  shipping  trade.  From  the  summit  of  the  hill  back  of  the  town  a  fine  view  may  be 
obtained  cT  the  harbor  and  ocean.  The  counties  of  Lunenburg  and  Queens  are  rich  in  deposits  of  gold,  and 
the  Central  Railway  the  mines  at  Brookfield,  Molega,  Caledonia,  15lockhouse,  Pleasant  River  and  Chester 
Basin  are  reached,  besides  other  districts  which  are  being  developed. 

Chester,  "  the  Saratoga  of  Nova  Scotia,"  is  the  finest  vacation  point  on  the  south  toast.  It  was  settled 
by  New  Englanders  and  retains  their  characteristics.  The  harbor  is  dotted  with  islands,  and  the  effect  of  the 
alternating  land  and  water  is  entrancing.  The  climate  is  exhilarating,  and  the  facilities  for  bathing,  boating, 
and  fishing  are  unexcelled.  Halifax,  Boston,  New  York,  Philadelphia  and  Baltimore  annually  send  their 
quota  of  visitors  to  this  charming  resort,  and  the  Nova  Scotia  Yacht  Club  makes  frequent  runs  there. 

Chester  has  two  good  hotels,  but  larger  accommodations  are  needed  there.  The  most  satisfactory  way 
to  go  is  by  the  Dominion  Atlantic  Railway  steamers  from  Boston,  and  then  by  train  to  Mahone,  on  the 
Central  Railway,  where  connection  is  made  for  Chester.

OF  late  years  Wolfville  has  been  the  summer  home  of  many  Ameri- 
can families  who  were  attracted  by  the  exceptional  beauty  of  the 
town  itself,  and  also  by  the  country  which  surrounds  it.  It  is  an 
educational  town,  the  Acadia  College  being  located  there,  as  well  as  sev- 
eral other  institutions  of  learning.  The  College  buildings  are  pure  white 
and  show  to  great  advantage  from  their  elevated  location.  Th^  Minas 
Basin  is  close  to  the  town  and  the  land  owners  have  found  it  necessary  to 
build  dikes,  similar  to  those  of  Holland,  in  order  to  protect  their  crops, 
the  tides  being  from  thirty-five  to  forty-five  feet.  Vou  can  always  find 
water  enough  for  boating.     The  town  itself  is  scattered  over  several  little 

hills    and    val- 

leys  of  its  own 


which  gives    it 

a  wonderfully  picturesque  appearance,  the  houses  being  for  the  most  part 
painted  white  and  contrasting  beautifully  with  the  heavy  foliage.  People 
come  to  Wolfville  to  rest  and  recuperate.  There  is  little  of  the  bustle  and

the  very  center  of  the  celebrated  Cornwaliis  Valley  apple  district 
(Which  averages  300,000  barrels  of  apples  per  year),  Canning  offers, 
without  doubt,  greater  inducements  to  tourists  than  any  other  town

far-famed  151omidon  (680  feet  above  the  level  of  the  sea,  overlooking 
the  beautiful  Hasiii  of  Minas)  than  any  other  place  in  Nova  Scotia

at  one  season  of  the  year  is  white  with  apple  blossoms,  and  at 
another  a  mixture  of  red  and  yellow,  the  trees  bending  to  the 
ground  laden  with  luscious  fruit. 

Golden  Beach  affords  an  excellent  opportunity  for  bath- 
ing, no  Coney  Island  surf  with  its  dangerous  undertow. 

The  drive  to  (Irand  Pre  over  the  old  French  dykes  is 
something  never  to  be  forgotten. 

Canning  has  an  excellent  water  service  (cost  530,0001, 
the  supply  coming  from  springs  on  the  mountain  side,  500 
feet  above  the  town  and  two  miles  distant.
